Services
Whole Home Inspection
Our comprehensive whole home inspection evaluates structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems for defects. Certified inspectors use advanced tools to identify safety hazards and maintenance needs. Clients receive a 30-40 page report with photos and repair recommendations within 24 hours.
Radon Gas Analysis
We conduct NEHA-certified radon gas testing to measure indoor air quality. Using specialized detectors, we identify elevated radon levels that may pose health risks. Results include mitigation guidance if unsafe concentrations are detected, ensuring compliance with EPA safety standards.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Pre-listing inspections help sellers identify property issues before market exposure. Our detailed evaluation covers major systems and components, providing actionable repair suggestions to enhance marketability and avoid negotiation setbacks during buyer inspections.
Termite Inspections
State-licensed termite inspections detect infestations and wood-destroying organisms. We examine structural components for damage signs and provide documentation required for real estate transactions, including WDIIR compliance reports for mortgage lenders.
Re-Inspection
Post-repair re-inspections verify completion of recommended fixes. We assess repaired areas to ensure proper corrections, providing buyers and sellers documentation to finalize transactions with confidence in the property's condition.
